SoCal CISO Community, tomorrow is your final Inner Circle Dinner of 2024! Join your peers at Meadowlark Golf Club in Huntington Beach to discuss "Modern CISO, Modern Data Security Strategy." In today's sophisticated threat landscape, data is both a valuable asset and a potential liability to the business. Rapid advancements and adoption of new technologies, increases in data complexity, and expanding regulatory oversight all pose significant challenges for security leaders. However, as the landscape evolves, so does the opportunity for CISOs to securely enable the business. The spotlight is now on CISOs to vigilantly measure and communicate the risks and value associated with data, implement appropriate DLP measures, and establish data security as a shared business responsibility. This conversation will be led by: Rudy Ramirez, CISO, Citizens Business Bank Tina Mitchell, CISO, Covered California Jeff Wade, Global Director, Cybersecurity, Taco Bell Richard Yun, CISO, Masimo There are still a few seats left for qualified InfoSec professionals.

🔒💼 Championing Business Value: The Heart of a CISO 💼🔒 The role of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has been ever evolving. The evolution has been much faster with the speed at which our digital landscape has changed in the last couple years. While protecting data, managing risks, and ensuring compliance are crucial, the essence of a CISO in this era lies in nurturing business growth and fostering innovation. Empowering innovation, serving as guardians of trust, and offering strategic guidance are just a few of the ways CISOs provide value beyond technical security functions. They are also the driving force behind resilience, building and maintaining relationships, and championing a people-centric approach to security. CISOs enable teams to innovate fearlessly, inspire trust and confidence in customers and stakeholders, and serve as trusted allies to the C-suite. In times of crisis, they work behind the scenes to ensure business continuity and emerge stronger than before. By embracing this holistic perspective, CISOs can unlock the full potential of security as a driver of business value and growth. #PeopleCentricSecurity #SecurityLeadership #CISO

Super excited about this session! AI, the risks and value proposition plus data governance will certainly be topics of great interests for all security professionals.

Excited to share that I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Geetha Nandikotkur from Information Security Media Group (ISMG) Media Network, where we explored the evolving role of AI Governance in cybersecurity. With AI and Gen AI increasingly reshaping security practices, it has become critical for CISOs to implement robust governance frameworks. During our conversation, we delved into the some of the core aspects of AI governance. Stay tuned to ISMG Media for the full interview where we dive deeper into the future of AI-driven security and governance. #AIGovernance #cybersecurity #AI #GenAI #riskmanagement #innovation #AdvanceIntelligenceGroup

There’s been a few particularly interesting developments in the world of #cybersecurity recently… BlueVoyant released a report on the state of #supplychain #security. Now, anyone remotely paying attention knows that it isn’t a rosy picture, but apparently it IS improving with 81% of organizations reporting negative impacts from supply chain breaches over the past twelve months, down from 94% in 2023. Huh. It’s progress, I suppose.  https://lnkd.in/dg7zeWf6 And it’s all #AI all the time in the news these days, it seems. And the world of cybersecurity is no exception. NTT DATA, Inc. (client) and Palo Alto Networks recently announced a tie up where NTT DATA’s #MXDR offering gets a boost from Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex XSIAM, its security operations center (SOC) platform that uses AI and #automation to simplify operations, stop threats at scale and accelerate incident remediation.  https://lnkd.in/d8wDrdK8 Speaking of incidents, this week at AWS #reInvent, Wiz launched its new, and might I say badass, Wiz Defend cloud detection and response platform that includes a bevy of partners, like Sygnia (client), so that customers have a built-in #IR team to beat attackers and stay secure. And for those of you following along (and are fans of the six degrees game), Wiz, who rejected an acquisition offer from #Alphabet, recently acquired Gem Security, which was founded by, you guessed it, a few Sygnia alum.  https://lnkd.in/dJcKNXxZ And lastly, supply chain #defense may be improving ever so slightly, but it doesn’t seem like #criticalinfrastructure defense is faring so well if the recent spate of attacks by the infamous #SaltTyphoon are any indication. Orgs should follow Sygnia’s blog where they frequently share discoveries, updates and general flags when their spidey sense tingles around known and unknown threat actors. https://lnkd.in/dhdkCZG2 #incidentresponse #reInvent #cloudsecurity #threatresearch #threatintelligence Jennifer Schlesinger Amir Becker Shetal Mehta Wireside Communications®
